Default Slight rub on sharp turns fixed by wheel spacers?

I just got new 33 inch all terrains and on sharp turns I get a little rub. Will 2 inch wheel spacers fix this?

I have 33x12.5s and we're rubbing on the frame on turns so I put 1 1/4 spacers and it doesn't rub anymore. 2 inches would be too much in my opinion

They're rubbing on the back of the fender well and mud flap area, only when I cut the wheel all the way

----------

And get really close to the steering. Is the rubbing on the fender bad enough to worry about damaging the tire?

Maybe lift it...that usually helps with tire clearance

It has 2 inch shackles in the back, and torsion bar crank in the front. I can't afford a superlift and i don't wanna do a body lift because i don't have the time
